From the patent, in the "Background of Invention" section:
However, as will become obvious later, additional applications of this invention may also include the field of cartography, route planning for motor vehicles, marine vehicles and similar utilization.
So does this mean they could potentially go after MapQuest or Google Maps for providing route planning for motor vehicles as well?
